Labrador Days

A bright spring evening, a boat full of singing boys, and a squall no one saw coming: John Mitchell has only moments to keep his crew from the icy bay.

Along Labrador’s rugged coast, where a family’s summer fishing depends on getting supplies across the water, even a calm crossing can turn perilous. In this opening tale by Sir Wilfred Thomason Grenfell, doctor to these remote communities, John Mitchell sets out with his sons and other young crewmen to fetch firewood. Then a sudden storm overturns their boat, leaving them clinging to its keel amid drifting ice, with land far away and an anchor threatening to drag them under. John must find a way to keep the boys alive as the storm drives them onward. What awaits them in the dark, rising sea?
